The High Court of Cassation and Justice decliner of jurisdiction to the Târgu Mureş Court of Appeal, which was identified as the competent instance to adjudicate the transfer of case no. x/2018 from the Topliţa Court, leaving no final determination on the merits of the underlying civil dispute. The proceeding involved a request by a limited liability company for the transfer of a case based on legitimate suspicion (partiality), but the Supreme Court found itself materially incompetent under Article 142(1) of the Civil Procedure Code, which vests authority over transfer requests from lower courts within a specific judicial district in the corresponding Court of Appeal. Applying Article 132 of the Civil Procedure Code, the court issued a non-appealable decision to refer the matter to the proper appellate instance for resolution.

Asupra cererii de strămutare, constată următoarele:

Prin cererea înregistrată la 24 noiembrie 2021 pe rolul Înaltei Curţi de Casaţie şi Justiţie, secţia I civilă, petenta S.C. A. S.R.L. a solicitat strămutarea dosarului nr. x/2018 al Judecătoriei Topliţa.

Potrivit dispoziţiilor art. 142 alin. (1) C. proc. civ., cererea de strămutare întemeiată pe motive de bănuială legitimă este de competenţa curţii de apel, dacă instanţa de la care se cere strămutarea este o judecătorie sau un tribunal din circumscripţia acesteia.

Se constată că prin cererea dedusă judecăţii se solicită strămutarea unui dosar înregistrat pe rolul Judecătoriei Topliţa, instanţă aflată în circumscripţia teritorială a Curţii de Apel Târgu Mureş.

Pentru aceste considerente, în aplicarea dispoziţiilor art. 132 C. proc. civ., raportat la prevederile art. 142 alin. (1) C. proc. civ., Înalta Curte constată că instanţa competentă material a soluţiona cererea de strămutare este Curtea de Apel Târgu Mureş, în favoarea căreia va dispune declinarea competenţei.
